~Alex POV~

"M-mother died when I was tw-twelve,Thomas...we were both s-sick and I just couldn't manage to die with her,she d-died holding me,Thomas. she h-hugged me tight,kissed my forehead the best she could though sh-she was so so w-weak..and th-then she...she was gone..." was all I could say before he cut me off with a massive hug,sure I was already cuddling him,but apparently he thought that wasn't enough.

He hugged me just as tight as Mother did,it helped my tattered heart the way he suddenly showed that he cared...no one ever cared,well they never stayed if they cared...Dad left...Mom died...John moved on from me...Eliza no longer spoke to me,neither did her sisters...Washington disowned me when he heard about my old 'job'... why didn't they stay!? Why can't they!?...would he? Should I even try to trust that he really does care?? Why should I? All he's ever been is trouble...

"Shh...Alexander.." He whispered as he noticed I was sobbing even before I did...he squeezed me tight again and started to pet my hair...he felt warm,his sweater was so so soft,and the way he was so very gentle with my frail body was amazing,but I still couldn't completely trust him just yet...I couldn't let myself fall like that,not again. But he reached down after I pulled away,he cleared my cheeks of tears with each of his hands,and kissed me,yeah it was just a soft peck,but THOMAS FUCKING JEFFERSON KISSED ME!! 

I went wide eyed as he pulled away,and hugged his neck tightly again,I had stopped sobbing,and just stayed there,in his lap still,and I hugged him so tightly that his whole face went red,then I released,and he smiled,looked a bit embarrassed but he smiled anyway.

~Thomas POV~

When Alex explained why he cut...it broke my heart,sure I didn't act like I cared for him all the time,but deep down I knew,and I was pretty sure he knew at that point that I loved him...maybe I'd never said it or showed it at all until then,but I really did,and I was pretty sure he felt something of that sense towards me to,but if he did or not I wasn't going to ever treat him the way I did before again.

So I leaned down after he stopped crying,wiped the tears off his face,and gently pecked his soft lips,he didn't pull away and that practically made my heart sing,but I had to pull back after a moment,afraid to scare him off,and I smiled at him,he smiled right back and hugged me as tight as a man of his size could. After he released me I realized it was getting close to time for both of us to head to debate club,but his entire sweater sleeve had gotten soaked in the blood from his arm,it was miraculous he was alright after that,but either way I picked him up and carried him to the bathroom in our dorm,I sat him on the counter,and found the first-aid kit. I wrapped his entire left forearm in a cloth bandage,I knew he wasn't gonna do it for himself if I didn't.

Once I had his arm wrapped,we searched his bag together,eventually finding him a new shirt to wear,this one a long sleeved,tight shirt,with a galaxy pattern covering it. After he carefully slipped the new shirt over his head we headed to debate club,about halfway there he took hold of my hand,he held it tight too. I smiled a bit and held his as well,we finally walked across the campus to the meeting place and instantly were approached by Charles Lee and his little group,including himself,Aaron Burr,Samuel Seabury,and 'King' George...of course George wasn't even royalty but he swore on his life he was related to some queen off in England.

Lee had already noticed our intertwined fingers,and let out a huge,obnoxious laugh. "Oh my GOD! Reaaally now Jefferson!? You're with that WHORE!?" Lee laughed at us,and Alex quickly released my hand,pulling his away,wrapping his arms around himself. "For one! He is not a whore! For another! Yes I am with him,so shut the fuck up!! Lastly,I don't think you and your little poly-fucks should have a thing to say about my love-life with Alexander!!" I yelled back at him,Alex going red faced at me saying we were together,but he didn't hop up to deny it which made me as happy as I was if not happier than when he didn't pull away from my kiss. Lee and his group of boyfriends backed away real quick after I mentioned their little polygamy situation aloud. After those assholes were gone,Alex and I resumed our day as we planned on,we didn't have another incident with their group the entire day either...
